I feel that congratulations are in order for Senator Johnston to admit his reservations about the suitability of Yucca Mountain as a permanent repository. He has always favored Monitored Retrievable Storage but was not able to convince enough other members of congress of this approach.
He also did not approve of Congress designating Yucca Mountain as the sole site to be studied for a geological repository. He felt that the Department of Energy should make the selection from among the three finalist sites: Deaf Smith County,Texas, Hanford, WA and Yucca Mountain,NV although some amendments approved by him and congress structured the situation so that only Yucca Mountain qualified.
